Why London for international investors
What this city offers your investor profile
London remains the world's most liquid property market and the single-largest destination for international investment capital. Outer-London boroughs, Crossrail-connected zones and PRS-designated sites offer the best rental-vs-capital balance in the current cycle.
For international investors specifically, London works because of three structural factors. Forecast price growth: +13.9% (2024-29). Forecast rental growth: +15.1% (2024-28). Population trajectory: 9.6m by 2030. Combined, those signals support both leverage-friendly cashflow and a credible 5-10 year exit valuation.
Budget guide: Non-UK residents typically need 30-40% deposit, plus the 2% non-resident SDLT surcharge on top of the 5% second-home surcharge. Total cash-in is often 10-12% above resident equivalents.
Structure: Most international clients incorporate a UK SPV at acquisition. The SPV simplifies remote completion, isolates UK assets from home-country tax events, and makes the inheritance and succession planning cleaner.
Risk framing: Verify mortgage availability before reserving. Specialist non-resident BTL lender pool is around 15 lenders; we coordinate broker introductions in parallel to legal AML.
